This article explains that Turkey will welcome Sudan's leader even though he has been charged for orchestrating crimes in Darfur against humanity. The Turksih Prime Minister says the Sudan leader is free to join an organization of Islamic confrence. The Turkish Prime Minister has said that Turkey respects human rights and would no hesitate to challenge the Sudan leader if Turkey believed he had commited atrocities. The Turkey Prime minister said he does not believe that the Sudanese forces have commited any acts of genocide agains the african residents of Darfur. The article also states that Turkey does not recognize the International Criminal Court.

In my opinion, this article explains to me that Turkey does not understand the effects of genocide on a group of people. The Sudan leader has been charged for comminting crimes against humanity, and the Turkish Prime MInister states that he doesn't believe the Sudan leader has commited any atrocities. This to me says that Turkey does not take the time out to appreciate people that aren't like them. I feel that Turkey really does not recognize or respect the International crime court or genocide. Turkey needs to realize that welcoming the Sudan leader that has been charged with crimes against humanity does not make them look like they have respect for any other country or persons.

Tamara H- I agree with you Amanda I think that Turkey should be taking more action to helping their people instead of acting as if they do not deserve anything.

I also agree with you Amanda, the fact that they would welcome the Sudan leader into their country is not going to represent them as a good country in the least bit. Turkey should be taking more time to realize what their actions are sending out about them- Sarah M. :)
